Q: This is more of a comment than a question. It would appear that some viewers would like you to be a a portfolio manager rather that an information source. Kudos for responding to those requests in the manner that you do.

Q: Caledonia Mining Corp CAL:TSX
$0.78 CAD 0.01
Yield 6.41%, Annual dividend 0.05.
I looked at this today and it seeded to answer my needs. I have no gold, but was reluctant to buy because I am a divined junkie. This allows me to get paid until gold goes up??? SO ...
Do you know management or off them ?. Are they for real staring with a high dividend. ( as you see my source say 0.05 a year )
Do you think they can be a small answer to what I am looking for. SUSTAINED INCOME UNTIL THE COMMODETY GOES UP (IF IT DOES)THAKNS AS ALWAYS

Q: hello 5i:
please share your views on the Price/Sales ratio, and what that would look like for one of your A rated stocks versus a B or C. Or, would it be easier to give your guidelines for mature vs growth companies? 5-year ratios for this metric are easily obtained, and I've always TRIED (not successfully) to use Ben Grahams' <0.9. Very difficult to find nowadays; is that just because the market valuation is so much higher?
thanks

Q: hello 5i:
re: RME.TO
I note that no questions have been asked since the September quarterly report. After the big miss the quarter previously, does the last earnings report make you more or less positive on the stock? It still appears to be trading far below the valuation it deserves imo. Thoughts?

Q: Good morning Peter :
On Nov 27th you suggested : "We would be comfortable with SLF in the mix, but would prefer it be substituted for something else (bonds or the others financials) to keep your exposure from becoming too big". We recently sold 1/3 of our gold miners and added BTE, BDT, CJR.B, CSW.A, PKI, and FTS to the mix, somewhat diluting our exposure to banks.
I currently have a "Pembina Pipeline Corp Conv Unsec Sub Debenture due 11/30/2020 5.750% MN 31" with a current market price of $123.00 [our ACB is $100] so there is a nice 23% unrealized capital gain.
Would selling this for no taxable gain [as I have current offsetting losses] and buying SLF with a current yield of 3.90% be reasonable at this time? I know the dividend is less but with the dividend tax credit and the hoped for growth of SLF over time [I have a 10+ year horizon] would this switch be the right thing to do? I gather that you prefer SLF [P/E 28] over GWO [P/E 16], or MLF [P/E 13.6]. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you, your comments are always immensely appreciated........ Paul

Q: Good Morning,
I am wondering is there a single location I can find out which Canadian Companies offer DRIP plans and what is the percentage discount offer. Also is there any other key facts I should be looking at when considering a drip plan also could you discuss the merits of a drip in or out of a tax free accounts. The TD securities rep did know where to look. Thank you again for the excellent service.

Q: I was looking at aya, boyd and GC. Aya is in your model portfolio but the other 2 seem to have much smoother charts with gc having really taken off lately (perhaps too much?) Would GC be more steady as it has casinos in both Canada and the US? What are your thoughts on these three companies? Is aya in the portfolio because of the dividend?
Thanks for your advice.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi Peter,
Correct me if I am wrong, One way to judge a stock is to see the return on equity as the equity holders will receive a dividend after all the debt and prefereed shareholders are paid. NOw gs.to has a return on assets 49% and return on equity 93%. would this company be a great buy.
Thanks

Q: Hi Guys. As a new member I have started to invest in your model portofolio ie sold UEB and bought CGX. I have about 600 shares of CPX which I bought at around $24.00 most of it is in RRSP and TFSA. Should I hold or sell and deploy the money to other stocks. I,m thinking buying GWO to protect against rise in rates. Also have about 4000 shares of BNS in investment account for income I,m not happy with the concentration but it has been good to me for the last number of years. Thanks for your advice. I,m really happy with you service .
